Power Stick Lite

The Dirt Devil stick vacuum already has very low suction power. If you are finding it is pulling up the rug you might find most vacuums will get stuck to this rug. Many newer rugs have rubber backings that don't let much air through so they get stuck to vacuums quite easily. I have a chair mat that gets stuck to my cordless vacuum on medium power, I have to use low power but this amount of suction also struggles to pickup some crumbs. Maybe try the Dirt Devil with the brushroll off? You could try a vacuum with more openings in the front so the suction isn't as concentrated like the Bissell Featherweight Powerbrush #2773A $54. Or you could try a cordless vacuum like this Vacmaster Portable 10.8V 2-in-1 Cordless Stick Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner VSD1001 $66. The Vacmaster is cordless which is usually less powerful than corded and it has a 2 speed switch with a low power setting.
